A local attorney plans to challenge Gov. John Carlin for the Democratic nomination for governor this year.
The attorney, Lance Burr, RT, 3 said he was waiting to file until his running mate—a woman—had decided whether he run. He declined to identify the woman, saying he wanted her to be able to make her decision without pressure.
Burr, 39, is a graduate of the University of Kansas and the KU School of Law. In 1974, he lost the Democratic victory for attorney general to Curt Schmidder.
Two important points of his platform,
his said, be nuclear waste and
decomposed form.
HE SAID THE Wolf Creek power
plant was “financially a disaster.” He said the project started out costing $480 million and to date has cost about $2 billion. The problem of nuclear waste and waste disposal be a main concern of all people in Kansas, he said.
"We have not educated the public to the grave dangers of this by-product," he said.
Concerning prison reform, Burr said he had worked in the prison system and was a staff member at the jail.
he said.
Burr has been involved in the protest of the plant for 12 years and is hopeful it will never go into operation.
Carlin's recommendations to pay more to prison charges at the Kansas State Pentiencyt at Lansing was not a solution to the problems there, he said.
solution to the problem.
"I want to relieve the violence and pressure so the guards will have a better time of it," he said.
Oceans of Fun readies for nearing splashdown

Oceans of Fun is making waves in Kansas City.
The wave machine in the new water theme park's Surf City attraction was tested Tuesday, sending breakers across the one million gallon pool.
Visitors to Oceans of Fun need a swimsuit and a towel and perhaps a little sunbathe to let them through atop the Kansas City shore.
The aquatic theme park, scheduled to open May 22, is billed as the biggest pack of its kind by Worlds of Fun, the developer of the new Zoo borders
obiana Harrison, public relations representative for Oceans of Fun, said that the president of Mid-America Enterprises, the company that runs the two parks, had travelled to water parts and country to get ideas for Oceans of Fun.
"It's all the good aspects of all the other parks." she said.
OCEANS OF FUN features 30 water-related attractions which require 7.5 million gallons of water to operate, Harrison said.
In addition to the wave pool, which is to be used for body surfing and swimming, there is an old-fashioned water hole with tire swings, dubbed Sophane's Lagoon, which ranges from 10 feet down.
tourism who works for both Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, said Oceans that a different consumer target group. Worlds of Fun
"We're going to draw a different class of people to the water park." Harrison said. That group is 18 to 49 years old.
To attract adults, Oceans of Fun includes an adult-only pool, which includes jetsprays and whirlpools around its perimeter and a "Belly Up" bar at which swimmers can be served while they are in five-foot-deep water.
Oceans also includes a young children's water playground that will be supervised by Oceans employees.
Harrison said this was a big advantage over other amusement parks.
"What's so nice is that you can drop the kids off and go enjoy yourself without worrying," she said.
HARRISON emphasized that the park would be staffed with certified lifeguards at all the water attractions and that employees would be in first aid.
She said that the new park would employ about 200 people and that the two parks would share the same administrative staff.
At the other end of the park is Bucaneer Bay, a five-acre lake for water shows and boating. The park offers sailboats, paddle boats and kayaks by the half hour, at what Harrison called a nominal fee.
THE BEACH OF Buccancer Bay is still waiting for its sand, on which volleyball, badminton and sunbathing is planned.
Oceans of Fun has the usual shops and arcades, plus private showers and locker rooms for the guests who choose to change into their suits at the park.
1 price of visits to Oceans of Fun is $10.50 a day. Combination passions for Ocean and Worlds of Fun are $19.75.
All that's left to finish Kansas City's answer to an eighth sea level of landscaping, a few sidewalks and the sand for the beach. Harrison said the park had been carefully planned around existing trees and foliage.
He said he would like to see full employment for inmates, perhaps with the cooperation of labor unions. With that, he said, he would begin a repayment program for victims of crimes.
He said he would like to start changes in the criminal code, specifically concerning the insanity plea for murder.
"Anybody who kills anyone is insane." he said.
ANOTHER AREA that needs to be revised is the life sentence, he said. He wants it to be just that—a life sentence with no chance for parole.
there would be less pressure for the death penalty if fewer violent criminals were paroled, he said.
Burr, a native of Salina, said his planters have encouraged encourage more for the farmers.
Because he has a farm background, he said, he can see the problems farmers have, such as not getting the prices they deserve for their products.
Woman's rights also are very important to Burr, and he said that was one reason he wanted to have a woman as a running mate.
"We need a spokesman for the farmers, to give them unity and a forum."
"It's time we involved more women in politics." he said.
Burr said he favored liquor-by-the-drink. But, he said, he would like to see laws passed requiring a minimum prison sentence for anyone who commits a violent crime while under the influence of any intoxicating substance.
Caffeine no trade for sleep
But they can't sleep now. They have that final in Western Civilization tomorrow and a whole army worth of reading to do in one night.
They feel it coming, but they fight it.

Pop a Vivarin, they think. That'll do it.
Sleep.
"Sleep and rest is not an old wives' tale," Martin Wollmann, director of Watkins Memorial Hospital, said yesterday.
MANY PEOPLE misuse the stimulant. They ignore usage instructions on the pill box that state they should not be used as a substitute for sleep.
SLEEP MAY be essential, but many students forego it for red-eyed study sessions drifted through under教研室. Some stimulants that contain caffeine.
"Just when I had a test to study for or a lot of reading to do," he said, "whenever I felt it was absolutely necessary."
"It is a life-supporting necessity It's as essential as water and food."
Gene Martin, professor and chairman of the pharmaceutical practice department of the School of Pharmacy, said the lack of sleep was more harmful than the amount of caffeine contained in the pills.
"I stayed up until about 2 or 2:30 a.m. because I had a 7:30 class," she said. "But then you have to take the following day to stay awake."
Two popular stimulants are Vivarin and No-Doz pills. Vivarin tablets contain 200 milligrams of caffeine each and No-Doz tablets contain 100 milligrams each. The dosage of dosage of No-DoZ is two tablets.
Luchen, Prairie Village sophomore, and a former No-Doze user, said, "Sometimes, you're so tired that concentration on what you're studying."
Luchen said he never used the stimulants to stay awake all night.
"Sure, you can abuse your body with a lot of things," he said, "but I think it's a matter of missing sleep."
"I think the most detrimental thing is the missed sleep."
"While I don't encourage their use," Martin said. "I'm not worried about their usage for a short period of time."

He used the stimulant a couple of times last semester, he said. He hadn't used it very often.

"Whether they're addictive is another question." he said.
A person is addicted to a substance when he experiences side effects when he quits using it, Wollmann said.
But Wollmann said the stimulants could be habituating.
Martin said that people who quit drinking coffee might experience sleepiness and drowsiness and that people who became used to other caffeine-based stimulants might develop the same withdrawal symptoms.

BUT A PERSON doesn't have to stop using the stimulants in order to feel the physical effects.
refer to physical traits.
The symptoms all reflect that the body has been pushed by a chemical." Wolmann said.
He listened rapid heart beat, extra beats of the heart, restlessness, excitement, shakiness and ringing in his ears. He experienced physical symptoms of stimulant use.
The extent of the reactions, Wollmann and Martin said, depends entirely on what each individual's body is accumulated to.
WOLLMAN SAID people should consider past experiences with the stimulants before using them.
"What is excessive can be one small dosage." Wollmann said.

"This is one final, but there will be another final and another final and after school, they will be the test that's not called a final," he said.
"A person better learn how to cope with these crises and the not-so-nice things in life."

Jesus Christ touched my life many times before I realized the extent of devotion that was required of me by my Savior. Many times, Jesus caused spiritual unrest to rise up within me for the sacrifice I had made in order to be subjected to my actions in the opposite direction. Maranatha is the body of people in Christ that helped me to understand the true meaning of devotion and set my life on the path to God's kingdom. My heart and soul were broken when I reached out and touched those who are blinded by Satan works. I am living proof. Through God's grace I have the secret to love, happiness and success. He has led me to Maranatha and joined him in the Spirit of Revival.
